There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Unfortunately, I ran into an issue with the driver for the usb upstream port. Windows showed an exclamation point in device manager. I also had some issues with the DP port. The latter might have been user error, although Banq only supplying a cable with a mini port on one side meant I had to dig up an old cable (since the monitor and graphics card both take full size ports), to test it, so I was not sure if there was an issue with the cable or the port, or some other tweak. If there was quick, knowledgeable tech support I likely could have worked things out, but the chat support took sooooooo looooong to get any response, generally not on target, that I eventually gave up and sent the monitor back. I’m not sure if my usb and dp ports were dodgy, and now I’ll never know…because spending two hours trying to get answers for a new monitor during a week day is too long. I do know that the 10 year old dell I currently use does not have any error code for the downstream USB.
But alas, BenQ's proprietary software for such calibration either does not work at all or just randomly works on random systems, you are at the complete mercy of BenQ's dark art! For example, no matter what I do I can never get my (supposedly compatible) i1 Display Pro colorimeter recognized by either of BenQ's calibration software (PME or PMU), I'm permanently stuck at their initial app screen! It turns out these BenQ "1st party" calibrators (that are required for performing hardware calibration) have known conflicts to many popular 3rd party monitor drivers that might have been previously or inadvertently embedded in your system. Apparently and for whatever dark reason BenQ refuses to acknowledge the existence such conflicts or bugs.
BenQ's support is of no help either, the support phone listed on its website is of an overseas number (from Taiwan), the live chat is a dead end. Even if/when you do get a very tardy response from BenQ's email support, the "answer" is never relevant but WORSE, it blatantly omits and ignores your questions altogether as if you have never asked! This so-called "support" is nothing but a pretense of service (or worse a deliberated scam)!
If I knew this before I wouldn't have bought this monitor. No degree of "hardware calibration" is worth of such frustration!
The colors on this monitor out of the box are great. I was able to edit my images for the output of SRGB web display and I must say the color matched on multiple devices. I will be running some print test soon to really test things out. Over all I am very happy with this purchase.

The monitor came exceptionally well packaged and supplied with every cable one would need. The technology of this monitor was well thought out and ahead of its time. While it came with HDMI and DP interfaces, it also came with option for connection via USB-C to USB-C. A recent upgrade of my Mac allowed me to plug this monitor directly into the USB-C port and it was up and running without the need for video cables.
Benq has excellent support for this display with all the documentation you would like and software along with software updates. I have used this display on both a high end Windows PC and a MacBook Pro M1 Max and it gets 5 stars across the board.
The shading Hood mounts very solidly even though at first blush it seems like it may be rickety.
You do have to disassemble and put it together differently if you wish your monitor to be in portrait mode instead of landscape, but in the end this leads to it being more secure.
The inside is lined with a black felt to keep the displays light from bouncing back, and there's a trapdoor at the top for your calibrator.
I'm inclined to call it overpriced the fact is that in today's economy it's likely priced significantly less than any other brands would be.
All in all I'm very happy with the purchase, I find it very well built and secure and works very well for my needs.
You’d be hard pressed to find a better monitor for the price. At just a touch over $2K this is an excellent addition for those extremely budget conscious shoppers like me who only have a little bit of extra cash to spend and need a good value for money purchase.
This monitor has really helped me to take photography and design to the next level, and opened up doors for me that might not have opened otherwise if I didn’t have the type of setup this monitor was able to provide me with.
10/10 would recommend.
